Review Quotes:
"Drawing from oral histories, archival research, and object study, Robell Awake celebrates the design innovation and technological invention of Black Americans.... Awake's purpose is, above all, celebration and recognition of his subjects. With Johnalynn Holland's stunning illustrations of makers and the things they made, this is a love letter to Black creativity and to 'the power that objects have to keep histories, tell stories, and express things.'" --Booklist starred review
